well I picked it up today... Bench top is not secured yet, stilll need to figure out just how I want to mount. need to provide a drop chute opening some wheres for reloaded shells to drop below bench top into a basket..Hmmmm?! Only issue I found on machine Primer assembly isn't working, drop chute from primer feed trays good, brass block with slide feed, and primer plungers not working. guess instead of screwing with his one will buy a complete new primer feed/insert brass assembly, and just adjust. Plunger pin must be bent, primers supposed to drop in pocket in brass housing above insert plunger.. Oh well, so is life. All other functions work, crimp, deprimer, powder/lead drops I didn't fill and try... but all gears, etc are tight and and indexed properly.

how simple to reload https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUYbUKTVS6s

Yes a 410, 410 shells are about 2>2.5 times cost of 12Ga shells.

Load away... when I was a teenager many years ago I loaded up 50,000 rounds of 12G for my father, it was fun to get into a groove and crank them out.. Until I missed a primer load and had to start over...lol or double shot which meant double power, hum so which one is it... cut them all up empty them and start over again...lol

Got the powder bushing issue all worked out, took a 1A powder bushing and used a 1/4 to 5/16" taper ream and slowly, try after try, and got powder to drop 15.3 grs powder per drop, got all crimps stations adjusted, and tonite loaded up a dozen hulls. Took to raange and test fired( still have all my fingers) worked out great. shot cardboard at 25 yards., majority of shoots in about a 18>20" circle, even spread coverage through out area.

loader works good, I need to get use to using it.
Heres the piece I shoot reloads through. Its labeled Kroydon, built by High Standard. late 60,s. early seventies.410 ventilated rib, double pin sight on rib. Barrel length, 26" barrel, full choke.

410 pump, Kroydon(aka High Standard) Sears? Montgomery Ward relabel.

I have always loved the .410. Got my first of many things with an old H&R single shot many years old. The best rabbit gun by far.
